Notes: Sugar (80.8 / 100) [sugar per gram] * (1.36 * 1000) [grams] * 4 [jars] = 4395.52 g sugar from honey

A further 1kg plain sugar into the syrup.

Take the zest from 8 blood oranges and 3 lemons, then juice the lemons and oranges.

Place the juice, zest, one bag of Greek cinnamon sticks, and 1 kg sugar in a pot with 1L boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes until sugar is dissolved and the water takes the cinnamon & citrus flavour.

Take off the heat, add the tannins and yeast nutrient to the pot. Prepare the fermenter while the syrup cools a little. Add the Honey to the syrup, stirring constantly.

Transfer the honey & syrup must to the fermenter, make up to 23L with cold water.

Pitch Yeast dry onto must.

Notes: BYO's Goose Island Summertime Kolsch

5 gallons/19 L
OG = 1.046 FG = 1.010
IBU = 18 SRM = 4.5 ABV = 4.7%

Ingredients
7 lb 11 oz (3.5 kg) 2-row pale malt (1.9 °L)
1 lb 15 oz (.87 kg) wheat malt (2.5 °L)
2.0 AAU Mt. Hood hops (60 mins) (0.4 oz/11g of 5% alpha acids)
3.0 AAU Czech Saaz hops (15 mins) (0.75 oz/21 g of 4% alpha acids)
2.5 AAU Mt. Hood hops (15 mins) (0.5 oz/14 g of 5% alpha acids)

Wyeast 2565 (Kolsch) or White Labs WLP029 (German Ale/Kolsch)

Mash at 145°F for 40 minutes, 152° for 45 minutes, and 170° for 10 minutes. Mash pH 5.4 - 5.5. Boil for 60 minutes. Aerate to 8 ppm O2. Pitch rate = 20 million cells per mL.
Ferment at 56-58°F.

(Note: Goose Island adds the final two hop additions in the whirlpool.)

Just posting a heads up on the Wyeast 2565. Keep that fermentation temp down! I fermented at 65-67 in my basement and didn't lager (first beer) and got a lot of the sour apple flavors.

DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 147°F (64°C) for 45 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops, yeast nutrient, and finings according to the schedule. After the boil, add dextrose and mix in well, then do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, chilling the wort to 180°F (82°C) or topping up with cold water to reach temperature. Add the whirlpool hops and allow 60 minutes to steep. Chill to 60°F (15.5°C), oxygenate thoroughly, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 62°F (16.7°C) until the gravity has dropped to about 1.020, then allow free rise to 68°F (20°C). When fermentation is complete and the beer has been at terminal gravity for 3 days—usually by Day 8—add dry hops and ALDC (an enzyme that inhibits the production of diacetyl). Drop/remove hops 2 days after dry hopping. After 2 more days, drop hops again or rack and test for diacetyl (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com). Crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.65 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Mash: You can easily hold the mash for an hour to help ensure full conversion. Don’t raise the temperature for a mash-out step, and sparge with 168°F (76°C) water, not higher.
Oxygenate: Use plenty of oxygen—I target 16 ppm of dissolved oxygen (DO). That takes about 3 liters per minute (LPM) on our system.
Efficiency: This beer is not designed to be a high yielder, and those hops will soak up some wort. If volume is your concern, try to get 6.5 gallons (25 liters) into your fermentor. Using a foam inhibitor such as Foam Blast, FermCap, or HopAid can help keep your yeast in the fermentor, to help ensure a healthy fermentation.
pH: I target a wort pH of 5.1 at knockout. So, depending on what the pre-boil pH is, I’ll adjust at whirlpool after adding hops.

Notes: So here is what I did:
Boil Cider, Honey, Cinnamon Sticks, and cloves for 60 minutes. At 15 minutes before end of boil add orange peel.

Be sure to rehydrate yeast (Lalvin ICV D47 is a freeze dried wine yeast). Also, aerate your wort VERY well before pitching the yeast and 2-3 times per day before the first sugar break. I use a wort aeration system (pure O2 injection using an oxygen stone), so I aerated for about 1 minute pre-pitch, then about 30-45 seconds a day.

Notes: Wed 17th June 2015 - Strike Water = 70.5oC. Mash Temp = 65.6oC. Added 3 mL 80% Lactic Acid added (predicted was 4.25 mL). Mash pH = 5.4 (measured a cooled sample after 15 mins).

Stirred mash after 20 mins. 64oC. Added 1.25 mL to sparge water. pH = 5.2. Added 2L extra sparge water so ended up with a 27L preboil volume. Preboil SG = 1.042, pH = 5.5.

OG = 1.050. pH = 5.6. 19L. pH of starter = 3.8 and a lactic twang to it. Had done a lacto starter the day before but did wash with PBW / Starsan... and boil the starter wort for 15 mins! Might be a sour IPA...

Mon 22nd June 2015 (Day 5) - 1.012 / 5% ABV. Yeast has dropped. Clear beer like last time with WLP090. Clean malty smell. Hop bitterness in the taste.

Wed 24th June (Day 7) - Dry Hop 1 (3.4 g/L) added in primary.

Sat 27th June (Day 10) - Dry Hop 2 (3.4 g/L) added to hop filter in oxygen purged keg and beer racked into keg. Keg placed in keezer at 0oC. FG = 1.011. 5.25% ABV. Lots of hop character but maybe a bit grassy / citric... May not even need the second DH. Nice firm bitterness, hint of diacetyl(?).

Sun 28th June (Day 11) - Keg has chilled overnight. Added 1 teaspoon gelatine in about 80 mL water, then warmed in the microwave till gelatine was dissolved. Added gelatine solution and then added CO2 line at 1.2 bar.
